Answer:

$7.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let wheat shipment be x bushels

Per bushel cost = 5.35

So x bushels cost = 5.35x

Achieving markup of 6% means 1.06 * 5.35x =5.671x

20% spoiled means 80% of x stays, so 0.8x will need to be sold at 5.671x

Selling price should be 5.671x/0.8x = $7.09

So that's 7 dollars and 9 cents

Answer: Selling price would be $7.09.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost per bushel = $5.35

Spoilage rate = 20%

Mark up rate = 6%

Amount of mark up is given by

0.06\times 5.35\\\\=\$0.321

Amount after mark up is given by

$5.35+$0.321

=$5.671

According to question, we get that

\dfrac{100-20}{100}\times x=5.671\\\\\dfrac{80}{100}\times x=5.671\\\\0.8x=5.671\\\\x=\dfrac{5.671}{0.8}\\\\x=\$7.09

Hence, selling price would be $7.09.

4 days I have 140 copies of a book, 9 days I only have 50 left. Write an equation where c(t)=my+b where c is number of copies st
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

c(t)=-18t+212.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 4 days I have 140 copies of a book, 9 days I only have 50 left. We are asked to write an equation c(t)=my+b, where c is number of copies still on hand and t days being available.

We have two points on line (4,140) and (9,50). Now, we will use these points to find slope as:

m=\frac{140-50}{4-9}

m=\frac{90}{-5}

m=-18

Now, we will use point-slope form of equation y-y_1=m(x-x_1) and substitute m=-18 and coordinates of point (9,50) as:

y-50=-18(x-9)

y-50=-18x+162

y-50+50=-18x+162+50

y=-18x+212

Therefore, our required equation would be c(t)=-18t+212.
